Chilliwack
- Island 22. Island 22 has quite a few
acres of open grassy/treed area that borders along a dyke and the river at the
west end of the park for allowing your dog to run off-leash. Dogs are only
allowed off-leash when horses are not in the area. As this is an equestrian
area, I suggest bringing a leash although the area is very large and you will
be sure to find some open spaces for your dog. Location: Cartmell Road.
Directions:mAs you enter Fairfield Island from downtown Chilliwack you will
notice signs for Island 22 and take a right shortly after and follow the dyke.
There are plenty of signs to guide you. (Thank you Shannon Nielsen)

unless you or a volunteer brings some. Sometimes there is water in a bucket
in the large off-leash area. If you have extra water, please consider
filling the bucket for the next dog. Directions: From Highway 97 in Kelowna,
turn east onto Old Vernon Rd. Continue past the Scotty Creek subdivision
past the llama farm on your right, until you reach the big old schoolhouse
on the right. Just across the road is the entrance to the park, through a
wrought iron gate that says "Ellison Centennial Park." You are

entrance and take the dirt road to the fenced area, or, instead, continue
past the wrought iron gate for 0.3km until you reach the Ellison Firehall on
your left. (Blue wood building with big red doors.) Park in the south end of
the firehall lot between the signs. A red flag on a 10' pole marks a new

lot which we can use, in addition to several cans in the fenced off leash

right, and just says "Beach Access". You can park here and use the
upper level or walk down to the beach. If you don't like walking up and
down, you can continue past the parking lot to the bottom of the hill and
make a sharp right into the parking area there. You will be right on the
beach. (Thank you Cate Burton) http://www.okdog.com
